Plextor (www.plextor.com), a leading developer of high-performance digital storage equipment today announced the launch of M5 Pro Xtreme, its high-performance 2.5’ solid-state drive (SSD) with professional read-and-write efficiency in the Middle East region.

Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme is a professional SSD designed for business and advanced users who demand high performance, reliability, and true data integrity which come in three different capacities like 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.

The drive is powered by True Speed technology that efficiently clean up the dirty blocks by constantly operating in the background to pick up blocks, erase the unwanted pages and move data to deliver a constant speed with high performance.

The M5 Pro Xtreme retains the features that define it as a true professional SSD; this includes a calculated mean time between failures of 2.4 million hours. This level of reliability has been achieved through extensive development, strict quality control, and a stringent pre-production testing requirement of 400 drives passing 500 hours of intensive tests with zero errors.
